2 cups oil

6 mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 cups ground beef, cooked and drained (or lamb)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 -8 eggs

Place a layer of eggplant in each unbaked pie shell; follow with a layer of mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and meat mixture.

Divide egg mixture between quiches to fill.

Place quiches on a baking sheet and bake in lower third of oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until custard is set (if quiche starts to brown too quickly before custard is done, cover with foil).
